NAGAO Natural Environment Foundation Research Grant 2017

Applications are open for the NAGAO Grant Scheme. The Research Grant Programme financially supports academic and scientific research that will deepen knowledge of the nature conservation in developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Founded in 1989, the NAGAO Natural Environment Foundation (NEF) is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting nature conservation in developing countries.

Since its establishment, the Research Grant Scheme has supported researchers from research institutions mainly in the Asia-Pacific region. A total of 424 research projects in 25 countries have been awarded grants during this period (as of 30 April 2016). With the aim of strengthening the research capacity of young researchers in that region, grants are available only for individual researchers, but not for groups/teams, to enhance their skills, knowledge, and experience through their own research work.

Grant

The maximum grant size in this programme is 500,000 Japanese yen per project for a maximum duration of two years.
